Feng Yin

Chapter 135 Misfortune caused Muqian's Palace to be chaotic

The winter sun spreads the cold, and the rising Buddha smoke in the Zen Palace Garden, accompanied by the sound of wooden fish, diffuses cautiously in the sun.

Empress Dowager Jing sat cross-legged, silently reciting Buddhist scriptures devoutly in front of the golden Buddha.

The sound of the wooden fish didn't stop, but a eunuch hurriedly ran towards the Zen Palace Garden.

Mother Duo Luo, who had been standing beside the Empress Dowager with her head bowed all the time, couldn't help but frowned slightly when she heard the chaotic footsteps, then turned around quietly, and walked out quietly and quickly.

Empress Dowager Jing's ears twitched slightly the moment Mother Doro turned around and walked on tiptoe.

When the little eunuch saw Mother Doro, he was about to kneel down to salute, but Mother Doro solemnly raised her hand to avoid his etiquette. Seeing this, the little eunuch immediately approached Mother Doro knowingly, and whispered A silent whisper.

Mother Doro heard it clearly, and for a moment, a bit of depression and anger appeared on her solemn face.

Waiting to wave her hand to tell the little eunuch to retreat, Mother Dorothy stood on the spot, pondered thoughtfully, and after a while, she sighed softly, turned around slowly and walked towards Empress Dowager Jing.

On the lotus-leaf futon, Empress Dowager Jing was still piously chanting Buddhist scriptures, and Mother Dorothy waited by her side again calmly, just like the Arhat who was protecting the Buddha in front of the Buddha, silently and firmly guarding the Buddha's will heartfelt.

Along with the curling Buddha smoke, the sun sneaks towards Zhongtian and climbs step by step, but the Zen Palace Garden is still filled with the sound of Buddha.

After a long time, the sound of the wooden fish stopped abruptly, and then Empress Dowager Jing sighed softly. Seeing this, Mother Doro bowed and joined hands, helping Empress Dowager Jing up.

"Your Majesty is tired. This old servant has prepared Qingchrysanthemum tea to relieve your fatigue, okay?!"

Empress Dowager Jing smiled in relief, and immediately raised her hand to pat Sister Doro's hand:

"Doro, if there is one person in this world who can understand me, then that person must be Doro!"

Sister Dorothy lowered her eyes, and on her face full of vicissitudes, smiles overflowed in an instant:

"The empress dowager loves you! It is God's mercy that Doro can accompany your empress in this life!"

While talking, he walked slowly towards the desk.

Empress Dowager Jing took a sip of the fragrant tea, and then sighed:
"Come on, even if you want to keep me safe, there will always be people in this Nanchuan harem who will restlessly want Aijia to live in peace!"

Doro bowed his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty presides over the harem, no matter how many ghosts there are, they will eventually turn into incense ashes in front of the Buddha. Even if you can escape the cold wind of the severe winter and the twelfth lunar month, if you want to come with the spring breeze, the purpose is to dissipate into insignificance." dust!"

Empress Dowager Jing frowned upon hearing the sound, and shook her head slightly:

"Be afraid, be afraid, there is always such an exception, even if you are burned by fire and cut by knives, and change your form, you will still be haunted by haunting you!"

Hearing this, Sister Doro couldn't help but also frowned, but she couldn't think of any more comforting words of relief for a while, so she opened her mouth, but said nothing.

Empress Dowager Jing shook her head, as if she wanted to get rid of the inexplicable troubles in her mind, and immediately asked in a dignified voice:

"Is it Muqian Palace or Cangfeng Palace? What happened again?!"

Hearing the sound, Duo Luo hurriedly stepped forward, and said in a solemn voice: "Returning to the Empress Dowager, there has been no trouble in the Tibetan Phoenix Palace these few days, but I heard the private rumors from the servants that Huang Guifei would cry and mourn in Hangu every night when everyone was quiet. In the chaos, Chu Lihou disappeared without a trace!"

Empress Dowager Jing sneered: "If she doesn't put on a show, and expresses her condolences to her nominal emperor brother, how can she stand up to the title of "Princess Li Pei" in Eastern Chu?!"

Mother Dorothy frowned slightly: "What does the Empress Dowager mean?!"

"Keep an eye on Hidden Phoenix Palace. The more her fake phoenix behaves in a well-behaved manner, the bigger the storm may be in the future!"

"The old slave understands!"

Empress Dowager Jing picked up the tea bowl and was about to drink the fragrant tea lightly, but suddenly she seemed to think of something, she raised her eyes and asked:

"Is there anything unusual about Nangong Ruo?!"

"At Muqian Palace..."

Mother Dorothy hesitated to speak, and Empress Dowager Jing couldn't help frowning suspiciously when she saw this situation:
"Isn't Muqian Palace protected by the emperor's most trusted servant from Kyoto, who personally led a large army to protect him openly and secretly, why? Could it be that this is the case, and he couldn't guard against the people from Cangfeng Palace?!"

Mother Duo Luo shook her head: "Going back to the empress dowager, Zangfeng Palace did not show any disrespect to the concubine Xiang, but this old slave feels that there seems to be something wrong with the Muqian Palace itself!"

"Oh?!" Empress Dowager Jing put down the teacup and asked full of doubts, "But it's okay to talk!"

"On that day, I heard that Concubine Xiang was weeping sadly for some reason, and no one could persuade her to help. The Holy Majesty felt sorry for Concubine Xiang, so he ordered the servant of the capital to bring the troupe from outside the palace to Demuqian Palace to serve as Concubine Xiang. To relieve boredom and relax. It's strange to say that the concubine Xiang, who had always looked coldly at the Holy Majesty, flattered the Holy Majesty that night. It was night, and the Majesty stayed in Muqian Palace.

But on the second day, for some reason, this Concubine Xiang didn't want to see the Holy Majesty again no matter what, saying that it was because she was greedy for a while and drank too much and ruined her appearance, and she didn't want to ruin her image in the Holy Majesty's mind with her dirty face! "

After hearing these words, Empress Dowager Jing became more and more puzzled for a while: "There is such a thing?!"

Mother Dorothy bowed her head silently, and Empress Dowager Jing slowly got up, pacing lightly with lotus steps while muttering to herself.

"Did Muqian Palace ever announce an imperial doctor?!"

Mother Dorothy shook her head silently and slowly, but she didn't say a word.

Empress Dowager Jing paused and frowned: "She was born in Muyun Mountain Villa. Although her late brother Nangong Shao didn't understand medical principles, he was familiar with medicinal materials. Could it be that this Nangong Ruo also knew a little bit about the art of beautification, so he prescribed medicinal materials to take?"

"There is no record of asking for a claim at the Royal Pharmacy!"

"Oh?" Empress Dowager Jing became more and more puzzled, and raised her voice for a while: "Mother Doluo thinks there is something strange about this matter?!"

Mother Doro bowed her head when she heard the sound: "This old slave dare not speak nonsense!"

Empress Dowager Jing blinked and frowned: "But it's okay to talk!"

Mother Duoluo said cautiously: "When this old slave was in Muyun Mountain Villa, when he was ordered to supervise the marriage, he once saw the servant of the capital in a secluded place, quietly wiping tears for the concubine Xiang. Although the old slave was suspicious at the time, he saw two People still follow the rules in words and deeds, so they didn't report this matter to the empress.

But now the Concubine Xiang does not come out behind closed doors, not even the Holy Majesty, only the servant of the capital, in the name of protecting Muqian Palace, frequently enters and exits the palace gate, and listens to the reports from the servants, in the past few days, every time Muqian goes out Gong and the servants of Kyoto are all panic-stricken..."

Before Mother Doro finished speaking, Empress Dowager Jing's face suddenly changed color.

"What a jerk!"

Empress Dowager Jing was furious, and Mother Duoluo hurriedly knelt down and bowed her head, and all the servants in the courtyard at the gate also knelt down in fear, without any fear.

Empress Dowager Jing shattered the teacup beside her with a snap, and immediately ordered in a cold voice:
"Show me the Muqian Palace! The Ai family wants to see, who dares to mess up Yuan'er's harem under the eyes of the Ai family!"

……

Chasing the clouds and chasing the sun, the sun was forced to hide its light in an instant.

Inside and outside Muqian Palace, there was indeed a searing panic.

The guards around the palace gate looked the same as in the past, but there was a hint of fear under each of their faces.

At this moment, Lian Jin was kneeling on the ground with tears in her eyes and said in a mournful voice:

"Master servant, please save my mother!"

Ouyang Yu was holding a saber in his hand, pacing back and forth anxiously, now that he heard those words, his eyes widened angrily
"At the beginning, how did you agree to me, and you agreed to go and go back, so I disregarded the sacred order and secretly covered you, master and servant, from leaving the palace! But I don't know, what your master and servant served is to eat Bear heart and leopard courage, dare to do such a thing under the nose of the Holy One! You... Alas!"

Seeing that his footsteps became more and more flustered, Lian Jin cried even harder:

"My servant is wrong, I know I'm wrong, my servant, Lian Que shouldn't be soft-hearted at the beginning, but at that time, the empress seemed to be determined, and forced her to say that if she didn't obey her, she would immediately bite her tongue and kill herself. This servant...how can I just watch this?" Let the empress hurt herself... This servant knows it's wrong...Your servant, you help people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, and let the servant decide the decision, what is your idea?!"

Ouyang Yu was even more disturbed by the continuous crying, and immediately ordered impatiently:

"Okay, don't cry, what's the use of just crying! The most important thing right now is not to disturb the Holy Majesty and the Empress Dowager, so I will have the opportunity to deal with you, master and servant!"

Hearing the sound, Lian Que tried his best to stop crying, but after a while, he seemed to suddenly think of something again, and suddenly panicked:
"But it's been several days now, my lady, will she already..."

"No! Absolutely impossible!"

Ouyang Yu didn't wait for Lian Qun to finish speaking, and suddenly interrupted her with a loud voice.

She'll be fine, absolutely not!He forbids her to make any mistakes, otherwise, he will never forgive himself in this life!
Just as he was immersed in the condemnation and worry in his heart, he suddenly heard a panicked communication at the door:

"The empress dowager is here!"

Ouyang Yu was startled when he heard the sound, the color of Lian Jin's face turned pale in an instant, and then he fell to the ground with a plop.

"It's over, now I'm dead!"

Ouyang Yu ignored the terrified Lian Jin, and was about to walk out of Nan Gongruo's bedroom, when suddenly he heard Empress Dowager Jing's angry and majestic voice, which came directly from the jade screen in front of him. come over.

"The Minister of Kyoto really did his best. In order to protect the safety of Muqian Palace, he even went to the point of staying in the palace!"

As soon as the words were finished, the Queen Mother Jing, who had an angry face, slowly walked out from the screen.

Ouyang Yu took a step back, knelt down with his sword in his hand, and respectfully said with a flustered expression: "My minister kowtowed to the empress dowager, the empress dowager is a thousand years old!"

Empress Dowager Jing snorted coldly, threw her sleeves angrily, and cursed:
"Ouyang Yu, you are so courageous. How dare you enter and leave the sleeping place of Concubine Xiang in such a grand manner! Aijia wants to ask you, is it the emperor's right to you that you are so self-conscious?! "

Ouyang Yu was in a mess in his heart, now that he heard Empress Dowager Jing being aggressive, he gritted his teeth secretly, and opened his mouth for a while:
"The empress dowager taught me a lesson! I didn't show my courtesy, and I was rude to the concubine Xiang, and I am willing to be punished!"
